If you drive past a truck loaded with hay. The wish only comes true if you don’t look back. So far, this hasn’t worked for me.
“I wish, I wish, I wish…I hadn’t parked on these train tracks!”
After the knock, but before answering the door after calling an escort service.
When you see a white horse and you “stamp” it – like you were licking a stamp and slapping it on a letter held in the palm of your other hand. On long car trips, my sister and I passed the time looking for white horses so we could stamp them and get our wishes.
Mom told us about the white horse/stamp thing. I have no idea where she got it from.
When you lose a tooth–but your wish will only come true providing you don’t probe the empty spot with your tongue.
(This of course is impossible. Damn wishing rules!)
Yes! Yes! This one even came with a jingle:
Load of hay, load of hay, make a wish and look away
This is VERY silly, but this is my family’s own made up one.
When the clock says 11:11, (on a digital clock), because this is the only time combo where all of the numbers on the clock are the same. Ditto for year dates like 7/7/77, 8/8/88 and so on, though that one’s not quite the same since all numbers aren’t alike (in 2/2/2222 they will be though :D).
Okay then, we only THOUGHT it was our own silly made up wish.
When an ascending/landing plane flies directly over you. Close enough to the ground to cast a shadow.
(If the plane is way up in the sky it’s pointless, so you kinda have to live or drive by an airport a lot for this to work.)
If you can insert all five fingers of one hand into the tubular flowers of a foxglove, without breaking them off the stem. (check first for bees, kids)
Whenever you see a cardinal, if my mother is to be trusted.
And wash your hands afterwards… :eek:
I wish I knew.
oh wait…Now!
Nothing? Missed it.
I knew this one but with extra rules: you can’t have touched the pendant or clasp, or looked at it in the mirror, between putting it on in the first place and discovering that the clasp is all the way around. It’s OK if someone tells you about the clasp, though.
I have learned over time NOT to make a wish when throwing a coin into a fountain. Every time I have ever done that the opposite of my wish has always come true.
I always wish to 11:11! In fact, I usually remind my b/f to make a wish, too, and he generally replies, “I wish it wasn’t 11:11.” His wishes generally come true eventually 
You should pull a George Constanza and wish the opposite!
Hmmmm…I have cardinals at my birdfeeders every day. Does that mean I can wish all the time?
Way to make me feel old, Freudian Slit.
We had one outside of the bay windows by our dining room table, so I got to make one just about every day when I was a kid. I always wished for the same thing, though. Still hasn’t come true
